Me in Patrick's voice: He's standing there, Menacingly!!!
I'm getting so many flashbacks to the backrooms.
please hold.
Thank you Matpat for inspiring all of us.
Your League will never be forgotten.
thanks, Matt
matpat means.... a lot to me, to say the least. I was raised in a single parent household and l haven't really considered myself to have a dad for a long time. while yes, I do technically have a dad, that's only really in the context of genetics. and my daddy issues but that's not important.
what is important is that matpat was my father, in a way. he was dubbed the title of "internet dad" long after he had already been one to me. he's part of the reason that I am the person I am today.
this piece exists because of matpat, for many reasons.
one, because I sobbed watching "goodbye internet" and want to do something special for his retirement.
two, because fnaf is the entire reason that I create what I do today, and that is partially heavily credited to matpat for overanalyzing a game about murderous animatronics in a pizzeria that I was obsessed with the moment I found out about it. 7 year old me was hooked, man.
and then I think through that, I found even more creators, which led to even more hyperfixating on weird nerdy shit, which led to me making more and more art.
and now, here I am. I'll be 17 years old in April. I graduate high school in one year.
I'm growing up.
not that I haven't been for my whole life because, well, that's how that works.
but I am nearing the true "end" of my childhood.
this year is fnaf's ten year anniversary.
this year marks a decade with game theory.
this year marks the beginning of the end.
I look back on my childhood. I went back to make one quick edit of my incredibly old Instagram account that I had way before I should've even had it.
I look back on the friends I had. I look back on all of the early-mid 2010s shit I posted and I smile. because it's cringe. it's cringe as hell and it's beautiful because of that.
and the nonsense theories are beautiful, and every single theory is beautiful because it exists. because it stems from the need to learn and think and have fun.
because that's what theorizing is about, in the end.
having fun.
matpat means a lot to me.
matpat is the reason that I am the person typing out this post. matpat is the reason that I am the person who spent 6 hours and 45 minutes drawing a piece featuring undertale and fnaf characters in it.
matpat inspires me to exist. and create. and think and learn and seek and everything.
yes, it's a bit parasocial. but it's hard for it to not be considering that I've spent more than half of my life growing alongside this man, seeing him grow in real time in tandem with myself.
I'm growing up.
but I still feel like a kid.
that's good and bad.
the bad is the part of my childhood that I didn't get to have because of my puberty hitting early. it's the fact that some of me is still a 12/13 year old in 2020. it's how the internet affected my growth.
the good is the part of me that still gets unreasonably excited when one of my interests gets brought up "in the wild." it's the fact that I love stuffed animals. it's how the internet affected my growth.
I look back on myself as a kid and, yes, I do indeed get embarrassed or genuinely cringe at how I was in some aspects. but I smile.
because it's me.
despite everything, it's still me.
despite everything, I'm still me, and matpat is still matpat, and despite every single thing that we've all gone through,
we're still us.
I remember one year, I bought myself the theorist varsity jacket with some Christmas money or something.
my best friend has the theorist backpack, I'm pretty sure.
hell, matpat's probably one of the reasons that they are my best friend.
two absolute geeks of GT kids, bonding over the nerdy stuff they liked, probably talking about theories. I don't remember super well, that was elementary school, man.
but isn't that incredible?
the fact that I'm still friends with someone I met in the first grade because of nerdy people like matpat.
I am forever grateful that I found the game theorists and became part of that group. so much of who I am is because I am a theorist. because I found one guy on the internet making overanalytical videos about games.
matpat means a lot to me. and if in case he somehow reads this whole weird ramble prose post open letter thingy, then I hope it means something to him.
but, hey, that's just a theory.
thanks for everything, Matt. <3
That's what I've been saying!
Give this little guy an alt outfit, so he can look cool!
Wanted to design an alt outfit for him!
Why, your welcome. I'm very excited to see this as a fanfic. :D
After a royal family dispute goes down in flames, Pim, the youngest child of King Steven, goes into hiding beyond the outskirts of his underwater kingdom to freely embrace his love of the surface. tagging along for the ride is a sassy green guppy named Glep and a dower yet softspoken lobster named Alan who would rather be writing another symphony but just HAD to be assigned to bring the littlest mercritter back home! It’s gonna be even harder to sway Pim back into returning to the palace after he falls in love with the swashbuckling Prince Charlie who hangs out with sailors and battles pirates! What’s this? That dastardly sea warlock Grim and his slow witted henchman Gnarly are plotting to trick Pim into being a pawn in their scheme to steal his father’s trident! How’s this fish story end for all these poor unfortunate souls? Stay tuned!
FANFIC COMING NEXT MONTH
The C.E.O of Grumbo
Shoooo honk
I'm always on board for some 30 year old Minecraft British men who are in love with each other. :D
(Okay, Ik one of them is 28 or 29 years old but that still.)
Draw the one ship that had to "grow on you" the most... You were indifferent or even hated it at first but at some point you ended up slowly liking or even loving it
No comment
I may or may not be a little crazy over Michael Afton/Mike Schmidt in the Fnaf fandom
i love it when a fnaf character is named michael and has a dead brother
i love them both so much no one gets them like i do
So, I watched Dark Beginnings prolong and I have some thoughts.
Spoiler warning for SXSG: Dark Beginnings prolonge.
If you haven't watched Dark Beginnings then, please watch it before reading this post.
Also, the last thing I wanted to mention is that this post is going to be split up into a couple of parts since I can't fit all the pictures from the animation, so yeah.
{The Calm Before The Storm}
They make her so adorable in this art style and their dynamic is so adorable.
The fact that a lot of doubt about this role in life before Maria comforts him, just shows how Maria wants his role in life to be valued as her and the rest of Earth / Mobius
{The Battle In The Ark}
YES!!! My boy, Emerl is here and OMG, these action fights are so awesome and same goes for the animation.
- End Of Part 1 -
Them <3
You're Gempearl art makes me very happy so I'd love some of them (Preferably not suggestive or nsfw please! :)
Like some fox girl and her moon goddess girlfriend idk leave me alone I want canes
Hello, welcome back to another analysis post for the final episode of Dark Beginnings Prolong.
Spoiler warning for Dark Beginnings Prolong if anyone hasn't seen it.
{Ready For Takeoff}
After that huge but also amazing fight scene, we are cut to Shadow, now in the shuttle while Rouge and Omega are in the station preparing the shuttle's take off.
This could inter take that Rouge (probably) has a talent in technology and this one of these scenes that we see her doing.
My headcanon for Rogue is that before she joined G.U.N, she had a talent in technology while she was younger. She used her talent to became a hacker to hack into the security system in buildings to block it to steal the gems and jewels. She was dubbed "The Jewel Hacker" because of that reason.
G.U.N would later be in contact with Rouge / The Jewel Hacker after hearing about her hacking skills and hired her as their hidden hacker and fighter agent
{Error}
Until the security detected an unauthorized launch that was going which caused the weapons to aim at the shuttle that Shadow was in.
- End Of Part 5 -
PRETTY PLEASE, nick give us a season 2, it has so much potential to see what goes next.
